Missionary Ridge

Missionary Ridge is a prominent landmark located in Chattanooga, TN that played a crucial role in the American Civil War. This 6-mile long ridge served as a strategic high ground during the Battle of Chattanooga, a pivotal event that ultimately led to the Union's victory in the war. Today, it is a popular tourist destination, offering visitors a glimpse into the past and the opportunity to learn about this significant piece of American history. During the Battle of Chattanooga, the Confederates held strong defensive positions on top of Missionary Ridge, while the Union army attempted to take control of the ridge and secure access to the vital supply line of the Tennessee River. The Union's eventual success in this battle allowed them to cut off the Confederate army's retreat routes and secure their stronghold in the region, ultimately leading to the end of the war. Today, visitors can visit various historical sites and monuments on the ridge, including the National Military Park and the Point Park, which provide a comprehensive understanding of the Battle of Chattanooga and its impact on the Civil War. Visiting Missionary Ridge is a must for anyone looking to deepen their knowledge and appreciation of American history.
